YouTube - Kirk McKusick - A Narrative History of BSD

@alcinnz @ajroach42 (Dr. Marshall) Kirk McKusick is on record from MeetBSD 2014 that if he had a time machine, he would go back and make IPv4/48-bit addressing the winner (this was apparently prototyped as IPv3):

Also with context about how NCP had 8-bit addressing.

Berkeley apparently always advocated for 48bit IP addresses, but they lost that debate. ;(
